Samsung Q2 info leaked

Leaked presentation slides have revealed the Samsung Q2, a successor to the Q1 ultra-mobile PC, which was said to be the world's first. Many of the specifications should remain the same, such as 1GB of RAM, a 60GB hard drive and a seven-inch touchscreen, but it will be substantially upgraded in some ways. Among these are a switch to an Intel CPU and Vista Home Premium, as well as increased resolution, now at 1024x600. A split QWERTY keyboard has been designed, and there are two cameras, one for stills (1.3 megapixels) and another for videoconferencing (0.3 megapixels). An unexpected development is the support of HSDPA and WiBro, which will allow roaming broadband in both Korea and the United States. More standard wireless options will include Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11b/g. [via Engadget]
